Redlands Cycle For ALS event flyer
February is War on ALS month. In October 2005, Jon Blais (Blazeman) became the first person to ever complete an Ironman with the disease — he swam 2.4 miles, biked 112 miles, and ran 26.2 miles in 16.5 hours to get to that finish line. When he crossed it, he challenged all endurance athletes to help find a cure for ALS.
Let’s work toward that cure by raising money and awareness as we come together and spin for 16.5 hours.
You can spin part of the time, or all of it. You can participate as an individual, or as a team. You can ride your own bike (on a trainer), or reserve a spin bike. There will be raffles and prizes and music and food and fun and some hours of instructed spin workouts and most importantly, support of each other! So in the words of Blazeman, “Decision must be instant… commitment must be total.”
